I'll spoiler everything after the first paragraph. I'd forgotten how terrible my PC was back then though, lol. On October 30 2010 00:46 Iyerbeth wrote: Hi all, I’ve been reading here for a while but this is my first actual post, and I was hoping someone could help me design a pc, and the sticky thread and the thread itself said this was the place to ask so yeah, here I am. Also that being said, it might be an odd place to do so but to anyone who reads this, I wanted to say thanks for the site and the effort put in to it. + Show Spoiler + With that out of the way, here’s what I’m looking for. What is your budget? I'm looking to upgrade in two parts if possible, and I realise it's a little restrictive doing so but my current pc is driving me insane. I'd be looking about about £300 for a motherboard, cpu and 4gig of ram, although I'd be able to push that closer to £400 if it makes a significant impact. I'd need this part to contain reasonable integrated graphics able to run WoW and SC2 without too much trouble, even if not on high graphics. In the begining of the new year I'd then like to spend a further £200-£300 adding a seperate graphics card and more RAM. What is your resolution? At the moment I play on whatever my pc will run any set item at, but if I had to pick I’d be happy at 1280x1024. What are you using it for? In short I want to be able to use my pc for:
The long version: The main reasons I want to upgrade are for Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. In general I’d like to be able to run either of those games whilst able to quickly alt tab between a media player and an internet browser without particularly suffering for doing so. I also would like to really get in to using the SC2 map editor which currently just annihilates my pc, as well as video editing from time to time. What is your upgrade cycle? Last time I upgraded was around 2003 with 2nd hand parts, so really just when it gets to the point like now where I’m hitting a wall with software requirements. I guess I’d be looking for 5+ years before upgrading again, with the exception of possibly adding more RAM in a few months time. When do you plan on building it? I'm planning on setting up the basic motherboard, CPU and some RAM as soon as possible. I'll then be adding a seperate graphics card and further RAM in the new year. Do you plan on overclocking? Whilst I understand what overclocking is I don’t know how to safely do it without damaging my system and thus have no intention of doing so. If it would be deemed important though to make a system work out in budget I’d be happy to put more time in to learning how to do so. Do you need an Operating System? No, I’m getting a copy of Windows 7 separate to this build. Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? No, I don’t plan to do so. Where are you buying your parts from? I live in Europe (England) and so far Ebuyer.com has proven to be the cheapest option on most parts I’ve looked up so I will likely end up using them. (That's it for relevant info) I also wanted to show my current specs, just because having looked up the minimum specs I’m amazed it can run Sc2 and I thought I'd share just how low you can go and still play. Managed to get through single player on normal and 1/3 of the way through brutal before I gave up and decided I need a new system!
Yeah sometimes I have to press escape to close video clips on single player because the fading out takes forever, yes everything is on low and every time I click a new unit or a new one hatches or I build a new building or more than 40 units are on the screen, or I’m looking blankly in to a fog of war area in frustration, or trying to load a game or a new sound file begins playing - it lags, but….yeah ok I need a new pc. Thanks in advance for any help at all. Edit: Typo correction. | ||

You have a couple options though, you can just turtle and expand/tech, go for a slightly different/better army composition, or just try to straight outmicro the other person (get a better position than him when the fight starts, definately avoid any fight on their ramp). From a 4gate vs 4gate post. Not a very exciting or embarrassing first post, I remember always being so nervous to post anything at all.

That's lot of time on the internet well spent. However, if you compare my posts here (started around high school) with the posts I made on other forums when I was 12-13, it's a huge difference, and that's pretty fascinating, albeit embarrassing. Yeah I'm the same way. The only dumb posts I've made have been one-liner celebrations in LR threads. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + On November 16 2011 21:19 Slightly wrote: If stream snipers do not want to be grouped in with cheaters, they should not call attention to the fact that they are sniping. Glhf and get on with it. The reward you get for sniping a professional player should be the heightened competition and the satisfaction of the gameplay. Your stream sniping reward does not include showboating or advertisement, and positive publicity should not be expected when you engage in interaction with the stream. In regards to the OP's situation, he guessed you were stream cheating because you put yourself in a situation where he could reasonably assume that you were doing so. Had you not cried out quite so loudly "Hey iNcontroL! I'm on your stream!" you would have been fine.. though of course, 5k people wouldn't have seen your twitter. One point I find startling here is how many people in this thread are up in arms about professionalism. I wouldn't call iNcontroL's statements professional, but I wouldn't give him a citation and have him fined or anything either. He called it as he saw it, nothing more. Emotional, yes. Worthy of scrutiny, not really. There are ways you can prevent being perceived in such a fashion if the issue is really so important to you. Also, about the damage he has done to your potential professional career by calling you out as a stream sniper or cheater.. No offense, but nobody was going to remember you for a one-off incident on iNcontroL's stream, I promise you. That kind of recognition came with a 15 page thread about stream cheating subtleties. If you had been matched against him 6 times in a row and were clearly demonstrating knowledge of the stream.. you are going to come off with a bad image, which is not only your fault, but also a big thing you need to consider when you're trying to go pro. Besides, professionals aren't made through stream sniping, they are made through results at tournaments, which you have already stated you lack the time or means to participate in. I'm sure everybody understands the difference between stream sniping and stream cheating. It seems to me though that most of the community has a clear grasp on the kind of people known to participate in those sorts of activities, and it is unfortunate that through your demeanor you appeared to be one of them. Stream sniping can be fine to find good competition, but if you overdo it you're going to make a bad name for yourself. Like I said, this doesn't only mean repetitive targeting of the same streamer, but also calling attention to yourself and trying to piggyback on his fame. It isn't necessarily wrong, but it is annoying, and you can expect aggravated remarks if that's how you act. | ||
